Slamdunk · 21st May 2007, 12:55 PM

im new at this site, and im not sure if this topic falls under Class D. I have a 15" kicker subs that i want to plug in to an amplifier so that i can run it at my room using 220v power plug.. i hope you guys can help me thanks.

Hello, Slamdunk
Do you want to design the amplifier circuit and PSU yourself, or do you want an amplifier module and PSU?

Slamdunk · 21st May 2007, 01:17 PM

i cant design... how about a ready schematic and ill try to follow it will that work?

Hartono · 21st May 2007, 01:24 PM

yes you can, might be a bit hard though , have you made any amplifier kit before ? I think quite plenty is available in phillipine

Slamdunk · 21st May 2007, 01:28 PM

how about for beginners that wants to make an amp that will run 600 watts at 2ohms ... where can i find a schematics? or what do i need, i want to try making one... i never build an amp before

600 watts at 2 ohm is pretty formidable project, especially if Class D. and switching supplies.
for beginner better not make anything larger than 100 watt first.

and using 2 ohm load you will waste a lot of power in the cable, connector resistance, etc, also the amp will have hard time driving it.

does the subwoofer have 2 x 4 ohm voice coil ?

better solution is to drive it in series to become 8 ohm.
or using 2 amplifier to drive each voice coil.

there are many schematic, the problem is , if not done correctly, and the amp/speaker is damaged........... well we wouldn't want that to happen right ?

do you have oscilloscope and multimeter ?

we can take it step by step here, I'm sure plenty of people here would have many suggestions.

anybody have simple amplifier plan for Slamdunk ??

I have modded P68 from www.sound.au.com with 50V rails and ten pairs of MJ15003/4 devices. can drive about 500wrms into 2ohms

Thanks for the info djQUAN (lechon lechon lechon

)

I'm having trouble accessing that page

I believe this is the same website with the same project :

http://sound.westhost.com/project68.htm

if you look down on the article..... down in the middle..... there's this red colored sentence that says :

DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS AMPLIFIER AS YOUR FIRST PROJECT

was it simple to build and measure for beginner ?

djQUAN · 21st May 2007, 04:46 PM

that was because the amp deals with high power and high voltage supplies. the reader will build it at his/her own risk I won't be held responsible for whatever happens to him/her or what happens to the equipment.

Hartono · 21st May 2007, 04:53 PM

yes true

I would be very concerned if any beginner is making 600 watt amps.
